ViaMichelin X-970

 

ViaMichelin's X-970 GPS has plenty of cool features confounded by a tricky interface.

SiRFStarIII receiver. Multisegment routing. Text-to-speech functionality. Predictive text entry. Green Guide for tourism.

Awkward user interface and menu system. Lacks turn-by-turn list view.

SiRFStarIII receiver. Multisegment routing. Text-to-speech functionality. Predictive text entry. Green Guide for tourism.

Awkward user interface and menu system. Lacks turn-by-turn list view.

An awkward user interface makes the ViaMichelin X-970 difficult to operate. And for approximately the same price, you can buy Magellan's Maestro 4050 or the Mio C520, both of which have bigger, 4.3-inch wide screens.
